Many fixate on Valentine’s Day as the holiday of love, a day set apart for grand gestures, romance and celebratory levels of affection. But why does such attention and kindness have to be reserved for a day, or even for one person?

Friendly, familial and romantic love are each distinct and central elements of the human experience. Anyone who has ever been truly loved well will tell you that it’s the constancy of patient, kind and selfless friendship that keeps love exciting and meaningful. Whether it’s the small notes dads put into lunch boxes, the carefully completed “honey do” list or the quiet whisper of “I love you” before drifting into sleep, our love for one another is built of a million imperfect but intentionally placed stones.

Still, we often forget to show the ones we love how important they are to us. So here are 29 ways to say “I love you” to those special someones in your life—one per day for the month of February. Some are serious; others, not so much. But perhaps these 29 tips could get you thinking about 365 ways—or more—to be an ambassador of appreciation.

Our love for one another is built of a million imperfect but intentionally placed stones.
